Jazakallahkhair!!! This is actually the smartest thing they've done with the PRTs. Go Shakilla jan!
This would've been so much better if it had been a beaver coat.
My boyfriend's brother is getting married and I wish he had the balls to tell his fiancee to step-off and actually get involved in the wedding planning himself instead of being steamrolled because it's HER day (no, we're not pushing the wedding back because your Dad is in chemo and yes, you will buy a brown suit for…
I love this!!! My Dad used to make us rewind the scene in Christmas Vacation where he puts the tonic on his flying saucer sled. He laughed until he cried every single time we watched that, it was glorious. He never got enough of that! Thanks for the laughs today, he's been gone three Father's Days now, and I could…
You don't have peripheral vision when you're wearing a niqaab, or rather, you have limited peripheral vision. I wore one a few times in Egypt to see what it would feel like and it was definitely awkard, kind of like a horse with blinders on. So yes, it is dangerous, but not impossible! :)
That's it? That's so anti-climatic! I'm also disturbed by the fact that a simple seam-ripper could be used to take a $7K bag apart, but maybe that's the point.
Hahahahahaha! Aww, you just made my day! I'm glad I could inspire you, even though I hate to be an accomplice to any kind of "shoe reduction" process. ;)
Hearted. <3
I solve this problem by wearing track shoes everywhere. I know I look like a total asshole in New Balance sneakers and a sun dress, but at least I can walk and not hobble. Under my desk/in my desk drawer are about three pairs of shoes that I change into when I get to the office. Some people keep snacks in their desk,…
I apologise for the excessive number of exclamation points... now I look like an overzealous spastic.
No, no, don't apologise!!! I appreciate it!!! I'm an Islamicist by training and my scope is sort of limited to the countries/communities that get the most press, so I appreciate the geography lesson!!! It was shoddy scholarship on my part (a.k.a. what makes sense in my mind does not always translate onto paper!). I…
The last time I saw anything containing formaldehyde it was senior year of high school and it involved a jar and miscellaneous body parts extracted from some mammal somewhere. That association alone is enough to make me not want to have my hair processed with a chemical used to preserve tapeworms for eternity.
I grew-up in Boston and I'm sitting here trying to unpack "Tea Party" and I'm thinking to myself, "Whoa, whoa: they named a political party? movement? after a bunch of disgruntled colonists dressed as Native Americans, no less, who threw tea into Boston Harbor." I've never really thought about it before and now I'm…
I just saw this for the first time the other day and I didn't even notice the inner dialogue, probably because that's the inner dialogue I've had with myself every single day since I was 13. It's nice that Yoplait, something that is supposedly good for me, managed to contribute to its normalization.
@Kizzie: That's horrifying: "never forget you were the colonized, I was the colonizer." Is that a warning? A reminder? I mean, how much more ominous and lecherous could you possibly be? It just makes me wonder what went on behind closed doors when these men were employed abroad that we don't know about and probably…
That's why I put (North) in parenthesis before introducing the postcard. I guess I didn't make it very clear. Thanks for clarifying!
How the French see (North) African women:
I totally had this rant yesterday in the car with my mum yesterday about how I can't stand the term "hubby" and when people on Facebook refer to their "hubby" in their Facebook status. Seriously, "hubby" probably has an ACTUAL name, let's use it, shall we?
